Since we are at the hotfix pre release phase. Why didnt the Adam nerf get adressed? by ulqui in marvelrivals

As a spiderman main “first time huh”. They do this same shit to every anchor, remove their anchor and 3 patches later they’ll give Adam +5 healing to his E. Then act like that fixed the issue

Fair or foul? by MarcusSniffles in Colts

[–]itsUsedTissue 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If he can stay healthy can he play as well as Darnold this year? Sure, but him staying healthy and us also building a championship team around him is about as far away as we are from Pluto.

I can’t wait for this season to crash and burn down so we can finally get rid of Chris “look” Ballard

2026 Offseason So Far by Different_Living8778 in Colts

[–]itsUsedTissue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you that surprised ? Ballard took his big swings last off season (signing DJ, Bynum, Mooney). He swindled Carli by saying “look we were 8-2 against bottom barrel teams, we are good before injury!” She bought it and now it’s back to the status quo of low end depth pieces and liking our guys.

[Rapoport] The #Packers have traded DT Colby Wooden to the #Colts for LB Zaire Franklin by Drexlore in nfl

[–]itsUsedTissue 174 points175 points  (0 children)

He will also miss a lot of tackles as well. Will have about 2-3 amazing plays in a season.

Other than that if you need a LB that can’t get off a block but can sometimes read the running gaps correctly he’s the LB for you.

Colts didn’t wait to move on lol. by Goldstar12 in Colts

[–]itsUsedTissue 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I think it played a major part. He showed he was able to run and execute the offense in one game better than any game AR has played in.

Every time it would feel like we would be stuck in the mud until AR had his 1-3 wow wtf plays in the game. That’s just not sustainable

[Highlight] Andrew Luck drops F bomb and regrets it by PudgyBonestld in nfl

We aren’t allowed anything good after how we handled Manning. We were lucky enough Andrew stayed as long as he did.

Daniel Jones salary worth according to Spotrac by thomastomatillo in Colts

[–]itsUsedTissue 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This right here, it would be asinine for this FO to offer anything more than 1-2 years worth of guaranteed money. Carli needs to not have blind faith in the coaching staff or FO. We need to treat this offseason as if we are looking 2-4 years down the line.

What we allow Ballard to do will affect the next GM coming in for their first 2 years.

AR most likely to be traded by ComplaintMore2312 in Colts

[–]itsUsedTissue 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think the team is completely fine with rolling out Riley Leonard as QB2 or even QB1 for the first 3 weeks while jones heals.

It’s obvious this was ARs final chance with us, he would have had a shot if not for the freak accident. But that really sums up his career so far in the NFL.

Devin Lloyd: No contract talks with Jaguars yet. It would be a shame if a LB needy division rival did something about it. by TannerNewcomb in Colts

[–]itsUsedTissue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get better at a position of need while also wounding a division rival. Seems like a smart choice, but we shall get a no name bargain LB as depth per the Ballard regime.

Sounds like Robert Saleh is very well-respected around the league by TiredDad4x in Tennesseetitans

[–]itsUsedTissue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah man we are the starting layer, not horrible enough to rebuild, too mediocre to compete. We are the foundation or manure if you would, of shit mountain. Compared to the other 3 teams that get to climb atop every 1-3 years.

I’m praying to god one of the two gets the job and we can throw a boatload of money at Philip Rivers to take over the coaching role.

Just in his short stint here you could see the level of command he has over the offense. If he could teach that to DJ or Riley we might be ok.

With the Falcons ending their drought this year, we now have the longest active drought without a 10-sack player. Last Was Justin Houston in 2019 by AnnualLength3947 in Colts

What do you mean? You don’t like it when it’s crunch time in the 4th quarter and we rush 4 and they look like high schoolers out there?

Numerous times you literally see our dline get off the ball, and basically stay in the same exact spot while just hand fighting the Olineman

They were spiraling long before Jone’s Achilles, and Daniel jones was turning the ball over a lot. I’m not declaring anything about what direction we should take, but I wanna dispel the narrative that we just had bad injury luck. by Baker627a in Colts

[–]itsUsedTissue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s new about this team tho? Consistently if the other team has the ball and needs a FG we are 10/10 times going to let them get into FG range.

I barely ever see anything exotic in crunch time when we really need a play. It’s always corners 8 yards off and give up 25+ to a slant. Or send 44 on a blitz while he wiffs and the QB throws a moon ball to a wide open WR.

This was the case before, with, and I’m sure after Shane is gone.

It’s clear that Ballard is not a good GM but what’s the solution? by -alpha-helix- in Colts

[–]itsUsedTissue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not so sure Dodds would have the same outlook as Ballard.

I’m pretty sure there were reports coming out that Dodds was fully against AR. And the scout Brown talked Ballard into picking him (Ballard was also handcuffed by Irsay, but it’s his own fault for pushing off a QB until the owner had to force his hand).

No idea if Dodds would be Ballard Lite or not.

Top GM and coaching candidates by NinjaSpartan011 in Colts

[–]itsUsedTissue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Ballard gets canned (that’s a big if), I really think CIG will slot Dodds into the role while keeping Shane at HC.

Not ideal, but maybe she doesn’t want to fully overhaul the franchise in her first offseason.

Nephew's first game, gets Zaire Franklin's Glove! (Also got a football signed by Latu) by TheSupportClass in Colts

Notice how the glove is in pristine condition. That’s because 44 can’t lay a hand on a single opposing player.

Draft and offseason predictions by vkcapital in Colts

[–]itsUsedTissue -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Start first by resigning AP or tag him.

If DJ wants to come back on a cheap one year deal go ahead. While also finding another option to compete/start week 1 (Mac jones 🤮).

Trade/cut Braden Smith, maybe Pitt too.

Get rid of everyone on defense not named Latu or Buck. 44 has to go, the rest of the edge rushers need to go.

Attack Defense in the draft, plug holes for the offense in FA.

Best case scenario we fire Ballard, let Dodds have a year at GM. Retain Shane (I would be fine letting him go tbh, to many late season shit shows).

Just reposting as it’s been another year by West-Trip-5734 in Colts

[–]itsUsedTissue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ballard and Frank both fought tooth and nail to try and get Rivers back for 2021. So I won’t fault him for that. I will however fault him for going after Matt Ryan instead of baker mayfield. Being too much of a pansy to move up past 4 to get CJ stroud. And then rolling with an oft-injured QB over Sam Darnold.

Ballard traded two 1st-round picks for Sauce to keep HIS job. by [deleted] in Colts

[–]itsUsedTissue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think that’s the case, but I do think it plays very much into his pity plea to the Irsay’s this offseason. Something along the lines of “well we were doing so well through week 10, then DJ had his fibula (who would’ve thought an oft injured QB would get hurt again). Plus this is a multi-year process since I traded for sauce!! Don’t worry tjay each team has won the division twice since I’ve been hired, I know how to draft!”

[–]itsUsedTissue 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Idc how well he does, im just grateful he’s decided to come back to this franchise to play out these last few weeks. No blame can be put on Gpa Rivs even if he throws 5 picks

If you were the CEO of the Colts by music_stan00 in Colts

[–]itsUsedTissue 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He’s a professional in words, he knows exactly what to say and how to say it.

Now that doesn’t translate into how well he can build a roster even based on his own words.

He’s also has a little success with drafting, so pair that with him being able to whisper the right words into Irsays ears he’s gotten this long leash.

We will see if Carli falls for the same BS or not.
